Not possible unfortunately. Android apps don't have any rights over these key's functionality. Changing that would require modifying some /system files (root) and possibly a modified kernel.

I'm aware of these face unlock problems. It is low on my priority list at the moment.

This is normal unfortunately. It all depends on the quality of the screen. Some screens emit more backlight than others.

Stay tuned. I'm working on a new Monitored Apps setting page that will allow for custom dot/icon/color per app. Once I'm done, I'll update the beta version and google play will stop bothering us.:good:

Thanks mack. Btw, this apps sweet on my pebble blue gs3.

Madmack, thank you for your reply. I really appreciate your effort! good luck!

I'm done coding for the day. v6.0.5b is the product of my work and it's available in the OP. Change log, as usual, is in the 2nd post.

I'll work on adding back some monitored apps features like text filtering and custom icons. With this new menu, I can easily make very fine-tuned custom settings for each monitored app. Done. get v6.0.6b instead.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
another bump. v6.0.6b. had some time to squeeze in the missing bits.

if you guys think the menu is too complicated, or perhaps not so intuitive for first time users, let me know. I had a feeling that it wasn't so friendly as I was writing the new design. I'm worried that Monitored Apps might be confusing a bit given that users have already selected a bunch of alerts on the toggle notifications' main screen (SMS, GTalk.. etc). I guess that's always been the case.
[Android Apps and Games] m92665961:
Thank you Madmack, I really appreciate your quick response. My phone is rooted but I don't think this issue bothers me too much, I am already satisfy with NoLED as is.

A side issue, I can never get the vibrate working even for previous 5.x version. I am not sure if any other users have the same problem or just mine because of certain apps that I have installed creates a conflict.

Edit: Vibrate is working in the latest v6.0.6b. Thanks Madmack.

Edit: Strange, vibration worked once, but never again. Anyway, thanks Madmack for this fantastic app.

Edit: Vibration works when I opt for "Keep screen off", but not otherwise.

I am trying to configure NoLed to notify me when a Calendar Event is missed in the Stock Calendar but i don't get it to work... I have ticked Calendar Storage in the monitored Apps but no way.

Any suggestion and by the way i am using the 5.2.6 version in my S3 ????

Thanks in advance...
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Vibration works for me. Go to backup and restore, backup, then attach the backup file that NoLED will write to your /sdcard/NoLED folder. Remove any references to any personal email address in the file before attaching. I'll try to load your configuration settings and see if I can replicate the issue.

Try checking S Planner.
[Android Apps and Games] wcharon:
Thanks. I have Splanner and Splanner Widget. Should i check both?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
S Planner was enough in my case.

New version 6.x. With jelly bean fix working great. Tnx a lot for the app. Using it a long time now.
[Android Apps and Games] marci4na:
hello! i am using noled 5.2.6 and I love it.

just one question...

when the notification icon turns off (after 10 second as i have selected in the menù) the screen turns on and goes to lockscreen than in 10 seconds turns of...

is there a way tu turn off the screen after the noled icon desappear??

thanks!

I have installed NoLed on CM10 JB on Samsung S2. I cannot disable keys backlight even if it correclty disabled in the settings. Do you know about this?
[Android Apps and Games] m92665961:
Thanks Madmack, please check PM for the settings. Upon further investigation, I believe that the problem may be due to the blink vs vibrate. Even if I turn the screen on, as long as I don't effect blink, vibration works well. Once blink is selected, vibration ceased.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
Sorry I didn't respond. I'll look tomorrow. Actually, later today, lol!
[Android Apps and Games] sronweb:
The issue now seems to be fixed with CM10 today's release from codeworkx.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
No way to do that unfortunately. Android doesn't allow developers to "shut the screen down". You'll have to wait for the lock screen to timeout.

No clue. The backlight disable thingy in NoLED is a hack at best. It is not guaranteed to work at all. Maybe I should write that in the summary of the option in NoLED settings.

If backlights stay on, it is usually an issue with your ROM (more precisely, your kernel's backlight drivers).
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I've just released v6.0.7b.

I'm rushing in code because I do know that I won't have the time to do more of that cool stuff very soon. :(

Anyways, with v6.0.7b, new features are on freeze. I am pretty satisfied and have accomplished most of with what I had in plan back in May. I'll stay focused on fixing and squashing bugs for now. The Play Store release will follow once I feel it's stable enough.

Enjoy it guys. Please do send in crash reports (via the built-in feature) whenever you are prompted. They help a lot.
[Android Apps and Games] wcharon:
Worked great... Thanks ...
[Android Apps and Games] m92665961:
Thanks for the quick response. I take the liberty to post your reply on the forum to make other users to aware of this limitation. I think the problem is that once the screen turns initially from on to off, vibration stop working even when the screen subsequently turns back from off to on (because of blink). I tried vibrate every 2 sec, screen on 10 sec and off 10 sec. The phone vibrated 4 times, then screen off, no vibration thereafter. If I set vibration every 10 sec, screen on 5 sec and off 20 sec, it will never vibrate. Anyway, this is not a major issue and I am sure you have more important issues to deal with for NoLED. Great piece of work.

Thanks, such a useful app

NoLed weather not updating

You were right, the weather was not updating for some strange reason. I looked at that when I first noticed the Geolocation wasn't working. Anyway what I did was toggle "get weather" and it updated (got current Seattle temp) but was still stuck on Seattle even though the "Use Geolocation" box was checked. Then I closed the app and let the screen time out and for some reason it just started working. There was Portland with current temp jumping around the screen. Go figure.

Great app

[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
Yeah, very great app.

It would be also great if the app supports more symbols with colorchangingoption for the monitored apps.

So I can finish some nice themes:
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
From my experience, sometimes in ICS, the app needs to be relaunched (and refreshed) to be able to get these periodic updates that require the app to run in a semi sleep mode in the background. It seems that ICS does terminate these processes sometimes leading to stuck updates. It happened with my twitter app too the other day :confused:

If the temperature changes, but not the city, please let me know. That would mean that my geolocator is indeed borked.

You can choose your monitored app icon already by clicking on the monitored app name?
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
I know, but I can't change the color of those icons... and an autofunktion would be great.

Home Button on Galaxy Nexus always enabled

Hi, I have installed NoLed 6.0.7b on my Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1.1, but I still have a problem with the Home button:

I have selected "Hide navigation keys" but Home and Back are still visible whenever there is a NoLED notification. That would not be a problem if they would be ignored, but even though the only checked dismiss button is "Use Volume Rocker" (which works fine), the Home button still works as a dismiss button (Back is actually ignored, as it should).

I use to carry the phone in my pocket, and occasionally I find that it was turned on and entering random stuff in a random application, so I would really like the Volume Rocker to be the only way to dismiss the notifications.

Otherwise, a great application I really like!

Thanks

Accessibility audio announcement

I recently upgraded my Galaxy Note to KingDroid V7.1 (ICS 4.0.4) with S3 launcher. And I tried both NoLED v6.0.7b and v5.2.6. Both had this annoying audio announcement bug - I know it is not related to NoLED but maybe KingDroid or ICS bug.

To be able to use NoLED, I must turn this switch on in Accessibility.

With that above switch turned on, when I open folder in Application drawer, I get loud voice "Folder is open" and "Folder is closed" when I open and close.

As always appreciate this must have app :).

Edited: I forgot to mention - that annoying announcement is turned even when I flick that off for NoLED and on for Widgetsoid. So it is ICS bug.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
someone else had the same request. thing is, if I do enable coloring of icons, then the default icons will look horrible unless users choose White as the monitored app color. In which case, the top right little number will appear in white as well.

Home button implementation is a tough one. Not all android devices handle that button in the same way. The workaround I made is really a hack at best so its not guaranteed to work. Same thing goes for the backlights of the keys. I'm actually changing the summary description of that option because many people take it for granted that these lights will turn off by checking this option when in fact it really depends on the hardware and kernel drivers. There is a detailed entry in the FAQ about that very issue for the Nexus S device. It is very likely that you have a similar issue to it.

One guy was suggesting disabling Google TTS and Samsung TTS (if it exists) from the applications menu. Just click on Google TTS and click on Disable from the Applications menu under Android settings. It is not the most elegant solution, but apparently it worked on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
hm... what is about an option for

all

monitored apps?

A: use only a colored dot / circle / whatever (circle would be also a great idea ;) )

B: use default (native) app icons

C1: use icons from a skinpackage with coloring option (search for icon_[appname].png)

C2: use icons from a skinpackage without a coloring option (if skinpackage doesn't support coloring, because it brings already colored icons)

this would be very very great...

another cool idea for this would be a default colorset for the skins (if someone is to lazy to choose a color)

Request

I have been using the market app version of NoLED for a long time and have just recently found this thread on xda. This is probably my favorite app on my phone. Brilliant!

I have started using version 6, and like very much launching apps from their notifications.

My request is to have the ability to turn off the haptic feedback when launching an app. I am just not a fan of my phone vibrating when I touch things.

Also, I have to touch the icons twice to get the apps to launch. A long press to launch won't work unless I have touched the screen already. I am using the TMobile Galaxy S2 (T989).
[Android Apps and Games] jadajada:
I disabled TTS and it did not help. The talkback is still there when opening/closing folders. I don't know if this is a noled or ics-bug since noled is the only option I enable in settings. Talkback is set to off.
[Android Apps and Games] gspears:
I set all the icons to black so the only indication I get is the lights on the bottom of the screen, no pixel indication. This works well except that the calendar app I enabled in Monitored apps, still brings up a red pixel. Even though every one of the "Colors" is set to black including the "All Other" which is the one I assume controls this.

Any ideas on what I did wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
definitely an ICS bug. It's not even an AOSP bug because some ICS firmwares don't manifest this issue. I've only read reports of that issue from newer Samsung firmwares so far. It's sammy's messed up implementation. You disabled both TTS options in there and you still get the sound when you open a folder?

it's definitely not a NoLED issue because if you enable any other app in Accessibility (lightflow, tasker are other apps that use accessibility), then you'll get these voice prompts again.

sounds like a bug to me. which version of NoLED are you using? Does any other monitored app give the same red square indicator or is it just calendar?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I have the same issue with having to press twice. I couldn't get around it so far. What's happening is that you have to press once anywhere to put the app "in focus". NoLED registers touch events only after that initial touch for some reason that I couldn't figure.

About the haptic feedback. I understand. I might add a visual indicator in the future to replace it. I think it's nice the way it is for now.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I like your ideas. I imagine themers would love to have a theme package that applies to monitored apps as well. I'll definitely consider that.

For now, I think the best option is to disable coloring if the icon is "default". But apply the color if the user chose a custom image. That will make Monitored Apps' color options very similar to the other ones (gtalk, missed calls) and would be more intuitive.
[Android Apps and Games] gspears:
Sorry, I should have included that info. I'm on 6.03a. I've not tried anything other than the Calendar function. If you'd like me to test something, let me know.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
The newest v6.0.7b (or wait a day or two for it to appear in the play store) takes care of that issue completely.
[Android Apps and Games] gspears:

managed app icons not working

Hi since upgrading to the latest version I've noticed icons for apps Like Viber are not appearing and just a dot is being displayed.

Hi I am new to this forum so I am not sure if this question has already been asked:

I have been using noled for a while but recently I changed my default email app to Aquamail and I am now receiving multiple notifications against the icon for a single email. Has any had this problem and if yes is there a fix :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] t00dy:
YES, please make haptic feadback optional :)
[Android Apps and Games] Freekers1337:
In the latest version, ''Keep screen off' isn't working anymore. The screen will just stay on. It worked in previous versions.

Is it just me? I reinstalled the app (remove, install), didn't change anything.

Thanks for this great app!

Thanks that worked. Keep up the good work. Donated a while ago.
[Android Apps and Games] Paladin2187:
Updated my market review yesterday to reflect my happiness with the ability to long press an icon to open the app. Excellent work!

I too find it a bit frustrating to have to touch, and then long touch the icon. I'd also vote to skip the haptic feedback, basically I think the option already exists to enable or disable it in the OS and in the app for specific notifications so that is probably enough for 99% of users. Having it forced on for this one little feature seems out of place to a small degree. A minor complaint though. :)

Again, great work!

Im on Pawitp's CM10 nightly ROM, and since that partition change he did, I lost gtalk notification. Could that be the reason and is there something I could do ti make it work again?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
I'm probably going to respond less frequently in the days ahead because work has been exhausting lately and I have a deadline in early September to meet! I'll probably update the current version once this deadline passes.

I just tried that feature and it worked fine here on v6.0.9. I'm not sure what's causing it for you given that I can't replicate it. I also haven't touched that part of the code between v5 and v6.

I'm going to make it so that it gives a small initial vibration and then launch the app without a second one. That initial one will be optional for those that really hate it.

It's due to the fact that NoLED requires Play Store billing permissions and Egypt isn't on the list of countries that are able to purchase from the Play Store. Your best option is to sideload the apk from the website.

Smallest icon and not a dot? The theme sizes work fine here. Try to uninstall and reinstall NoLED. Unless you have a custom theme from the site, in which case it might be that NoLED isn't able to load the files so it defaults to the small icons instead.

The partition shouldn't affect GTalk. I did notice though that ever since GTalk was updated to support multiple gmail accounts, my app isn't able to fire events correctly all the time.

Here is a temporary fix until I investigate the new gtalk database further:

go to monitored apps and add Google Framework Services.

The icon is ugly, but you can change that once you've added this app to the list of monitored apps.
[Android Apps and Games] shobuddy:
My apologies, I meant dot. I've tried an uninstall and reinstall w/out any luck. I tried a custom theme from the site just to see if it would change the the dot to an icon but it didn't so I'm back to the default theme but still with a dot vs icon.

Thank you and don't work too hard!
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
oh, its that not-so-intuitive UI that i've introduced in v6. Just click on each toggle's "icon/dot" text to switch them from the default dot setting to icon. Make sure the word "icon" is lit.
[Android Apps and Games] shobuddy:
That worked, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] VooDoo`:
Maybe you should stay at one description.. symbol or theme?

Otherwise... nice work!

But some small bugs exists:

- the blink function doesn't work right with (f.ex.) whatsapp popup notification (the popup will apear every blink).

- if I dismiss the notification with the home button the popup notification from whatsapp will disapear (maybe for other popup notifications, too). back key works like a charme, but I often press the homebutton intuitively.

Handcent icon no longer working after update

The Handcent SMS Icon was working well as a monitored app with version 5.2.6, but no longer works with the 6.0.9 update. I haven't tested exhaustively (reset all settings back to default etc) but the one other monitored app I have is fine... so thing somehow this is just related to Handcent and/or maybe the Handcent privacy box. For the time being, I've reverted to 5.2.6
[Android Apps and Games] nitramcek:
Tnx madmack, gtalk is now showing. I cant launch it by long press on icon, but for now its inportant to notify me that someone wanna talk to me.
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
Popups are very hard to work with. They use very obtrusive methods to stay "on top of all windows" and it just gets ugly when I try to compete with them over this real estate. I've tried several times previously to overcome this issue to no avail. Android also doesn't allow developers any control over the Home key, so its programmed by default to always get you back to the home screen regardless what app or foreground activity is active at the time.

You're not the first to complain about that. I'm not sure what is causing it so far.

Click on Google Framework Service and then change the Launch app to GTalk.

Disable backlights

Just updated to 6.0.9, Galaxy S with CM9 (latest nightly).

In previous versions (5.x), when I got new notifications, the phone's physical keys (back and menu) were lit for a second and then turn off.

In this version, they just keep stay on.

I tried to check (and uncheck) "disable backlight buttons" with no luck.

(Also, I see a service called com.led.notify, consuming 25 MB. Is it normal?)

I think the backlights consumes a lot of battery.

What has change between versions? I want the backlight to turn off like they used to.

(And maybe its the ROM, idk).

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Hoshi-MZ:
columns and/or rows

Thanks for this really useful app. I´ve already customized it with my own Icon-Set :D

I´ve got an idea for an new feature.

At the moment it is possible to switch the "Dot-View" from top-left to top-right. The Icons in the "Icon-View" appear randomly.

It would be really nice, to switch the icon-appearence from "random" to "column-wise scrolling" and/or "row-wise scrolling". And the option to choose the column/row-position, like "top, middle, bottom, right, left", would perfect this feature.

greetings Hoshi

i'm running aokp build 40 for the sgs 989 and I am having an issue I never had before I put ics on it. when I have noled active and I turn off the screen manually and the charge percentage comes up, I can't keep the screen off. I manually turn the screen off and it keeps popping on. any reason for this?
[Android Apps and Games] madmack:
From my experience, these changes are ROM related because the backlight driver is in the kernel. The "keep backlights off/on" option only attempts to solve it but doesn't guarantee it. I personally disable the backlights completely on my samsung phones so I don't worry about it. (the option is usually hidden under the Android settings > Display).

25 MB is huge ! Can you please uninstall and reinstall and see if this memory usage continues ? If it does, please do send me a copy of your preference file: go to backup and restore, click on backup then send me the xml file that will be in your /sdcard/NoLED folder. You should also erase any email addresses that might reside in it before sending it for your own privacy.

I've had several similar requests but haven't really gotten to implementing it yet. It is in my todo list. I'm just putting the priorities elsewhere at the moment.

If the screen is powered off, the physical home button is programmed to work exactly as a power button. The behavior changes once the screen is actually on.

Do you have "don't keep activities" enabled under Debugging in Android settings? This could be the reason. Otherwise, send me your xml file (follow the steps outlined to my reply to bomba6) so that I can try to replicate and confirm the bug locally.
